Candlelight remembrance honors Holocaust victims

The simple lighting of a candle signifies so much. Six were lit at the Jewish Community Center in Squirrel Hill to represent the 6 million Jewish people killed in the Holocaust. Another candle was in honor of the non-Jews, or "righteous gentiles," who risked their lives to help Jewish friends and neighbors. And Steelers Hall of Famer Franco Harris lit one for athletes who took part in the 1936 Olympics and were killed or persecuted by Nazis.
